Why see 101 Dalmatians?
The Adventure On Tour!
The rollicking animal adventure 101 Dalmatians is going on tour! Based on the classic children's story by English novelist Dodie Smith, the reimagined version of the 2022 Regent's Park production will feature book by Johnny McKnight, stage adapted by award-winning playwright Zinnie Harris and music is by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Douglas Hodge.
What Is The Story Of 101 Dalmatians?
The story follows Pongo and Perdi a pair of delightfully spotted dalmatians who live in London with their kind and caring owners the Dearlys. The only thing that makes their idyllic life better is the arrival of their 15 puppies, but their bliss is short-lived thanks to the machinations of their evil neighbour Cruella de Vil, the villain to end all villains. When she steals the pups for their fur, Pongo and Perdi take matters into their own paws and em-bark on a quest to rescue them.

Magnificent
An outstanding stage performance of an iconic story. A story that could have presumably been thought very tricky to adapt to stage. Without doubt this whole company excelled at bringing the story to stage, music, sets, acts, voices, choreography was brilliant Each character was superbly portrayed and the puppetry was so skillful you could almost forget they were puppets. ...

Joyous
A Joyous show, with just a few 'sad' bits to give it variety.
Whilst there are no 'killer' songs, many of them are toe-tapping and the repeated use of "Take Me Home" does give the show a good structure. The ensemble are a massive part of what the show so good, both individually good singers (and puppeteers at the same time) and as a blended, emotive, whole.
Kym Marsh is suitably funny, humorous and evil as the show demands. ... Read more
